A podcast is a series of spoken-word digital audio files that a user can download to a personal device for easy listening. Alternatively, the content can be streamed directly from a website or app. Podcasts are typically available in episodes, which are often focused on a particular topic or theme, and can cover a vast range of subjects from news and education to storytelling, comedy, and interviews.
Listeners can subscribe to podcasts, allowing new episodes to be automatically downloaded or appear in their feed as they are released. This on-demand nature makes podcasts a highly flexible and convenient form of media, enabling audiences to enjoy content anytime, anywhere, whether they are commuting, exercising, or relaxing at home.
